What does SANDY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Covered with, consisting of, or resembling sand; also used to describe hair of a light yellowish-brown colour.
A sandy beach or sandy soil is made up mostly of loose sand rather than clay, rock, or rich topsoil, which affects how well plants can grow there. Sandy also describes texture more loosely, as when a cake batter turns out sandy and gritty from too much sugar or coarse flour. Applied to hair, sandy points to a pale brownish-yellow shade somewhere between blond and light brown. The two uses, texture and colour, both trace back to the appearance of ordinary beach sand.
